Madden 22 is almost upon us. While the game is set to launch on August 22, EA Sports have been dropping the ratings of certain players through the course of this week. Much like every year, the ratings are up for debate. And this time around, Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes too has joined the party. 

Mahomes, 25, has achieved what most NFL players are not able to over the course of their entire careers. An MVP, Super Bowl MVP, and Super Bowl champion, Patrick Mahomes is among the brightest talents in the league.

Rated 99 overall in Madden 21, Patrick Mahomes is among the few players to have been a part of the ’99 Club’. And the rights to admission to this club are truly exclusive. 

As the name suggests, only players 99 on the game are part of this illustrious group of top NFL athletes. While Mahomes is a favorite to land himself a spot on the list again, he feels the makers of the game did a great disservice to a teammate of his by not rating him 99.
